'Devastated' nursery staff asked to leave school site for good after 20 years due to rebuild work
A nursery has been told it can no longer operate from a school site where it has been based for 20 years.
Kaleidoscope Nursery, based at St Andrew's C of E Primary School in Shifnal, has been told it must leave by August 23.
David Shaw, assistant director of education and achievement at Shropshire Council, said the decision had been taken over concerns that building work scheduled to take place at the school would mean the environment is not "appropriate" for children at the nursery.
Carole Rolinson, a director at the nursery, said the team was devastated at the news and would prioritise families and staff as they look at options for the future.
She said: "We have been delivering early years childcare in Shifnal for 30 years, and have been based at the site on the grounds of St Andrew's Primary School for 20 years.
"We are desperately trying to get our heads around the devastating news that we must vacate the site, and are in talks with our legal team, as well as Shropshire Council and the school, to best understand our options and how we can move forward.
